Key wont turn

1986 JAGUAR XJ6

155,000 MILES

I'm restoring an 1986 XJ6. I spent the day replacing the wood dashboard and when I got it put back together the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. Here are a couple of details. 1. I found a couple of fuses that were blown under the center console and replaced then. I removed the steering wheel. Had a hard time purring it back on it may be out of position. I did nothing to the actual ignition itself other that remove the plastic key position indicator and rubber block behind it. Key never had problems turning before yesterday. I have tried the spares and spraying wd-40 into the lock. The car beeps when I insert the key in the ignition lile it recognizes it is there so my question is their a reset button or something I missed? Please help.

Ok, would be willing to do that if you would describe just how it is done.
